A Nightmare Turns to Life
Alan Wake is a bestselling horror novelist who moved to the small town of Bright Falls, Washington after suffering from insomnia and depression. Wake is able to sleep again, but after he meets a mysterious woman, he begins to have terrible nightmares. As he puts these nightmares on paper for a new book, he soon notices that all the things that happen in his book are coming true right before his eyes.

Using cinematic effects and technology such as real-time lighting, shadows and reflections, you'll be treated to a game that is oozing with atmosphere and able to invoke an emotional response from the player. The realistic environment features real-time weather and light changes that effect the game play for a remarkably immersive experience.

Explore an Entire Town
The town of Bright Falls is 100 square kilometers, and players will be able to roam through this incredibly detailed area any way they like, roaming the town or wandering out to the lakes, forest, satellite towns, and more. The game gives the player goals, but how he chooses to go about completing them is up to him. Clues are scattered throughout the town, and solving mysteries will require players to pay close attention to the little details.

Intense Combat
In addition to solving puzzles and exploration, the game also pushes players into serious action and combat; when night comes, creatures will take their best shots at Alan, and you'll have to be quick with strategy as well as weapons to beat them back.

Alan Wake presents an unusual and new gaming experience that features a riveting, multi-layered story while giving the player the ability to freely roam a giant environment. It supports Dolby Digital sound.

2 out of 5 stars a bad surprise...   August 28, 2010

I was waiting this game many years, and finally I had a bad surprise.
A really really bad story, a repetitive gameplay, an uninspired concept. I gave 2 stars just because technically is well constructed. But of course that is not enough, the game is below average.



5 out of 5 stars I really love this game   August 28, 2010
EndlessShopper (Washington, USA)
This is the first game I have ever played that has this unique gameplay. I love the intense storyline and the interesting characters. I also love how they set it up as if you were watching a TV show with different episodes. At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like this game but I have had so much fun with it and have recomended it to all my friends.


5 out of 5 stars A change of pace   August 27, 2010
Mantis (PA, USA)
It is well done visually, controls are smooth and simple. Its a great game, superb story, and a very much needed change of pace from all the other games out now. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try something new, or a hardcore gamer looking for some new flavor.


1 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money   August 27, 2010

If you are looking for an interesting game with a good storyline, look elsewhere. If you are looking for something other than whack-a-mole gameplay, look elsewhere.
If, however, you think you may enjoy a game that is comprised mostly of some idiot running through the woods with a flashlight, then "Alan Wake" is for you.
Disappointing, boring, tedious....I can just keep going. Complete waste of time and money.
